Wrong Side of Memphis

**Clayton is doing better, still being treated for an infection which is most probably still localized to his incision.  He has been up a little the last two days, and we plan to keep pushing him on getting up and around.  We're praying his body is finally adjusting to the lower pressure the new shunt is giving him.

**Neuro docs say six more days of IV antibiotics, Infectious Disease docs say maybe not that long (we can go home on some oral meds)--we'll see how it works out.

**I don't know if we'll all be sane by the end of six more days.  Clayton is well enough to know he's missing out on life.  Granny and Pop were here this weekend and while it was good Clayton got to see them and we got to see Jackson, it just magnified the fact that things are anything but normal.

Glad he is doing better. Praying he adjusts and is back to himself soon. My friend's sister has a shunt that is "overdraining" now. They are trying to decide whether or not to do surgery.
